Compassionate Neighbours match individuals (either 1-2-1, by phone, or to a social group in their local community) based on shared experiences, hobbies or interests, offering a listening ear and companionship. Friendships are developed from regular telephone calls, a cup of tea, a trip out, or anything the pair wish to do. We have seen the positive impact regular connections make and how they can change someone’s entire outlook on life.
Compassionate Neighbours are given training and ongoing support to make and maintain friendships to both those lonely and to the wider Compassionate Neighbour network.

All our care is free and can be provided in your home, at our community hubs or our In-Patient Unit. Most of the people we care for have cancer, however, we are also increasingly caring for people with other life limiting conditions.
